Hello Vincent,

平方(ping4 fong1) - square

呎(cek3) - feet

For example:

平方根(ping4 fong1 gan1) is "square root" because 根(gan1) means "root".

The transcript for this lesson said that "cek3" is short for "ping4 fong1 cek3." Does "ping4" literally mean "feet"? (I'm guessing that "fong1" means "square" there?) Thank you!

Hi Alex,

Great to hear that you love the lessons and thank you so much for your encouragement. :thumbsup:

洗 (sai2 ) means "wash" and it is a verb. 乾淨 (gon1 zeng6) is "clean" as an adjective.

晒 ( saai3 ) means "completely" or "entirely".

If you want to say "clean everything", you can use 洗乾淨晒! (sai2 gon1 zeng6 saai3) or just 乾淨晒! ( gon1 zeng6 saai3) to show the state of being clean. 洗 成 is a bit strange to use in this situation.

Hello,

I love all of your lessons. Thank you so much for these!

My question is about cleaning a house or apartment. If I wanted to say clean everything, could I say, "sai2 sing4 a3" ( 洗 成). Or would "sai2 sing4" mean always clean - Would that mean "always keep it clean"? Or maybe none of the above :smile:

Thank you

Hi Benny,

We have several other lessons about apartments, and each of them covers some terms on apartments or housing, check them out and add them to your Word Bank or Flashcards ;)

Do you mind posting the more specific words for apartment and villa? I couldn't find them in the notes. Do je saai in advance. :)

Thanks again for a good lesson!

Is there any difference between saying 想 (soeng2) or 要 (jiu3) or 想要 (soeng2 jiu3)?
